ABSTRACT
Once you're acquainted with the fundamental aesthetic and conceptual principles of the cinematic language, you're ready to transform a written screenplay into a story, told in images and sound playing out across a screen. This transformation is the heart and soul of filmmaking, and the visualization process is where directors do the lion's share of their creative work. However, this is also the beginning of the nitty-gritty logistical work necessary for you to have a successful production period, so a filmmaker needs to wear two hats at this stage: the creative, visual storyteller and the foreman of a production team who has a movie to construct.
